I'll go (not very far) out on a limb here and state that the one on the left is entirely natural; the one on the right is probably natural, but could be either wholly or partially artificial. |

Great. More the Islamists to blow up.
Is that anywhere near South Florida? You know, the Geezer Plateau?
It stands to reason the aliens would have had an auxiliary landing strip in the area....
Thanks, Civ
Well, that’s one reasonable use of google earth.
They just look like eroded mountains in the desert to me. The United States is filled with them from the Rocky mountains to the Sierras. From a commercial flight, almost everything in that region looks like this.
We went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC last weekend and saw a wonderful exhibit Early Egyptian art from the pre-dynastic period (before the Pyramids) 4000 BC to the period of the Pharaohs.
What has already unearthed is most likely a small fraction of what remains to be discovered.
and check out these:

“More interesting though (to me) were her finds of submerged pairs of straight lines (off Cornwall, off Bahamas, etc).”
Link?
There are only a few comments at the linked article, but they dispute her suppositions.
The fairly tiny Egyptian collection at the local museum is a never-miss for me when I’m there; there’s Nile siltware from circa 3500-4000 BC, basically intact. As you said, a tiny fraction is known of whatever fraction still exists.
Probably she should look for a giant shuffleboard court using Google Earth.
I wholeheartedly agree. Worth checking of course, just in case, but look natural — and looking at their estimated size, they could hardly be artificial.
OTOH, there are much larger structures from ancient Egypt; there’s a well-preserved mudbrick temple from early Egypt that has a wall something like 3/4 of a mile long.
In the context, I think this thread may be of interest: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2832079/posts
My mission is to identify every last single Spanish or Portuguese settlement ~ occupied enough so the roadways/paths were still visible when English and American settlers moved in a couple of centuries later ~ in the area bounded by the Arctic Ocean, the Rockey Mountains, the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean.
I"ve found their grand survey of the continent ~ reflected in the Treaty of London (1604) ~ and had verification that some of the Bench Marks are actually identified as "Boundary Markers".
So far I've searched from 45 degrees North to 35 degrees North from the Mississippi to the Atlantic.
Found several structures ~ and best of all, at least one Villa La Real (A Spanish administrative center), a couple of mills (long in the dirt but visible in part), but there are only a few dozen villages/plantations.
I know most historians imagine these things are all over the place and the French put them there, but the French hardly had enough settlers to keep Quebec busy to say nothing of moving in on Indian territories.
The Spanish were different. They'd move in on you with priests from 10 different orders and have your women hitched to a plough before you could say ouch. They had a proven technique for aiding populations to grow and become strong ~ particularly militarily strong, and in the good old days, if you weren't militarily strong you turned into dirt pretty quick.
I really don't know what happened to the French but even in fur trading they demanded the position as middle man ~ unlike the English who let the Iroquois do the hard work of transporting the furs to market. The Spanish actually tried to build a local agrarian society first ~ then the mines!
Yeah, about as alien as we are.
In 1952 I was riding in a B-25 across the High Plains somewhere around the Texas-New Mexico border when I spotted this large fish-shaped pattern on the ground, outlined in black and having a couple of circles with straight black lines about the quarter points. I had recently read a National Geographic article about some similar prehistoric marks somewhere in the Southwest. I got excited, believing it was authentic Native American, and started to point out my “discovery” to the two fellow passengers sharing the waist seats on the deck of the old B-25. One of the guys, a WW2 Air Force veteran, said “Why, that’s just an old battleship target!”
I didn’t know the pyramids even had internet access!
